What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.
--T.S. Eliot

Memento, homo, quia pulvis es,
et in pulverem reverteris.

Do I dare disturb the universe?

And would it have been worth it, after all,
Would it have been worth while,
After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,
After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor--
And this, and so much more?--
It is impossible to say just what I mean!
But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:
Would it have been worth while
If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl,
And turning toward the window, should say:
     'That is not it at all,
     That is not what I meant, at all.'

my favorite poem--the one I heard in college that gave me my first glimpse of waht poetry really was.

Doesn't this upset your ratio?

Oops. Damnit!

I guess I'm just not cut out for the shutting up.

From now on, call me 'anonymous.'

I should have been a pair of ragged claws.
